I’ve been tagged in an Internet meme by Mark Stock. This Internet meme is entitled “Seven Things You Don’t Need to Know About Me”. This is why this meme business drives me crazy. If you don’t need to know it about me, why should I write it? And I tend to over-think things, so I will end up analyzing the possible things on my list which why do I have to write it in the first place if they are things you don’t need to know about me?
So here I am writing the post anyway for two reasons. One, I try really hard to be a good sport which means you try some things, even if you’re uncomfortable with them, and sometimes you end up better for it. Two, I don’t know Mark Stock of the blogging world, the meme tag caused me to check out his blog, and I remember that’s what it’s all about–reading each other, gaining new ideas, and connecting. So here goes.
Here are the Seven Things You Don’t Need to Know About Me. Stop reading now if you prefer to stay in the dark. I can’t blame you.
1. I analyze, evaluate, research and think about everything. My husband often asks me, “what are you thinking about?” When I reply “nothing”, he always says, “yes you are, you’re always thinking about something.” Which I am.
2. I am relatively impatient. If a meeting is going a little bit long, or especially if it’s extremely detail oriented, I begin tapping my foot, fiddling with my blackberry, wishing for the end. Conversely, when we’re really cooking with problem solving and meaningful discussion, I can stay attentive and patient forever.
3. Red is my favorite color. Inevitable that I would return to Randolph with our Red Randolph Cardinals!
4. I really, really, really have got to start exercising. I swim 50 laps a day all summer and then winter comes and well, forget about it.
5. I absolutely, positively love my job. I would rather work than just about anything (especially exercise).
6. I think the most perfect, peaceful, beautiful place on earth is the Allegany Reservoir aka Kinzua.
7. I can’t wait to see my husband at the end of each day, after 22 years of marriage-he’s still the one.
Everyone I read has been tagged, so let’s let it end with me. 😉 Thanks Mark!
Kimberly,
You are a good sport!!! Thanks for giving it the old college try.
If nothing else it gave you a post that could help your readers know you better.
Good luck with your blogging. If you get a chance to read my book “The School Administrator’s Guide to Blogging: A New Way to Connect with the Community.” let me know what you think.
I tried to address all these problems you and I see as superintendents that try to use new techniques to reach our clients and customers.
Enjoy your new job!! I always told people it was the best and the worst job I ever had. 90% of the time it ws the best – but….when it is bad..it’s pretty rough.
Mark
